Description
The Malkin Building was designed by well known architects Parr and Fee, who were responsible for many commercial buildings in the city, including the Europe Hotel. The Malkin Building was constructed in two stages with the western half constructed in 1907 and the eastern half in 1911-1912. It was the third warehouse that was built for William Harold Malkin, all on Water Street, within eight years.
The Malkin Building is considered to be a good example of the “Commercial” style with its heavy cornice, decorative coursing and medallions at the upper levels. The building is clad in red brick, with its original wooden windows on the upper floors.
